Yes, it's really not that hard at all. If I remember correctly, I just hammered mine out.

D Love are you talking about fronts or rears??? Because i know some cars have studs where they are threaded on. And i know that we can hammer out our rears but i dunno about the fronts.

Just watch out for the brake dust shield behind the rotor. You may need to bend it back to reach the stud. Just make sure you bend it back straight so its not rubbing on anything.
